Didn’t Pot become legal just a few hours before this happened?
LOL yeah “pot” was probably the issue here, never alcohol
I guess the driver didn’t see the Deputy’s vehicle? Maybe the Deputy should have had their lights activated…oh, wait ..
Glad the Deputy was not injured. Hopefully the driver’s insurance covers the cost of a new patrol vehicle.
